baptism day

I LOVE baptisms.

  

They were always one of my favorite things to attend when I was in the primary presidency...and now, it was my own daughter.  It was a day filled with so many mixed emotions...stress, joy, anxiety, pride, stress, love and more stress.  I had so many expectations for this beautiful day...and if I had to do the day over I would change SO many things...except one...the feeling that came over me as Taryn walked down into the baptismal font.  As I looked at her and her father together in the water...I fought back the tears...I was overcome with the spirit, an undenying feeling that He lives and loves me and my family...and I am SO lucky to believe, to KNOW, that I am a daughter of God who has been blessed SO greatly.

So forget everything else...all that petty stuff...it is not important anyway!

 

Isn't she beautiful??

Unfortunately, amidst everything going on...this is one of 3 pictures Owen took, I took none.  So if anyone has some they might have snapped...please share!!
